Dap - TA-4.3400

In the category of touring amplifiers, the DAP TA-4.3400 stands out for its ability to concentrate high power in a 1U chassis. It is designed to power a wide range of configurations, from 2 ohms to high-impedance 70/100 V systems, making it suitable for both touring systems and fixed installations requiring solid performance and a large power reserve. Its compact size means it takes up very little space, while leaving plenty of room for manoeuvre when integrated into a mobile rack.

The presence of a complete DSP plays a central role in the flexibility of the TA-4.3400. It incorporates 8-band parametric EQs at both input and output, high-pass and low-pass filters with different curves, RMS and peak limiters, and a set of delays for adjusting the time alignment according to the needs of the system. These functions are accessed via a network connection and dedicated PC software compatible with Windows 10 and 11. The amplifier also features a front-panel LCD display for monitoring the status of the unit, the active configuration and the actions of the DSP.

From an electrical point of view, the device uses a universal power supply with active PFC, guaranteeing stable adaptation to input voltages and greater energy efficiency. This choice also promotes stable performance, even in environments where the quality of the power supply may vary. Cooling is provided by an axial fan with front-to-rear air circulation, ensuring consistent dissipation under continuous use.

The TA-4.3400 provides a power range that covers numerous configurations thanks to its four independent channels. In low impedance mode, it delivers up to 3400 W at 4 ohms and easily accepts a load at 2 ohms, making it suitable for systems with a high density of transducers. The ability to operate in bridge mode further enhances the versatility of this amplifier, particularly when powering subs or modules requiring a higher level of power.

For networking, an RJ45 port enables both DSP control and monitoring of various operating parameters, including temperature, voltage sent and activation of specific protections. Integrated protections include thermal management, overvoltage, overload and DC faults, to ensure constant performance in a wide range of situations.

With its XLR input connectors, 4-pole loudspeaker outputs and 1U rack compatibility, the DAP TA-4.3400 fits easily into an established professional environment. Its weight remains low for a model delivering this level of power, making it easy to handle during the frequent set-ups and dismantling encountered on tour.
